Repeatability refers to the results of independent 5 determination in triplicates obtained by analyzing a infant formula sample five times on the same day.
Reproducibility refers to the results of independent 5 determinations in triplicates obtained by analyzing a infant formula sample five times on different days (once a day).
SD, standard deviation.
CV, coefficient of variation.
HorRat ratio for intra day repeatability.
HorRat ratio for inter day reproducibility.
